On January 17, 1997, the National Association of Broadcasters ("NAB"), the National Cable Television Association ("NCTA") and the Motion Picture Association of America ("MPAA") submitted a joint proposal to the Commission describing a voluntary  X3system for rating video programming (the "industry proposal"). On February 7, 1997, the  X3Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on the industry proposal.&N\ {O*" jԍSee Public Notice, Commission Seeks Comment on Industry Proposal for Rating Video Programming, CS Docket  {O" jNo. 9755, FCC 9734, Report No. CS 976 (February 7, 1997); Public Notice, Modification of Industry Proposal  {O" jfor Rating Video Programming, CS Docket No. 9755, DA 97518, Report No. CS 978 (March 12, 1997)(noting change in symbol for the category "Mature Audience Only" from "TVM" to "TVMA"). The Commission subsequently received formal and informal comments from interested parties regarding the industry proposal.  XU3j2. On August 1, 1997, NAB, NCTA and MPAA notified the Commission that certain elements have been added to the video programming ratings system described in the January  X'317, 1997 industry proposal (the "revised industry proposal").r'N\ yO"ԍA copy of the revised industry proposal is attached hereto as an Appendix.r Generally, the revised industry proposal changes some of the descriptors associated with the agebased categories of programming and, in certain categories, adds symbols that indicate the type of material  X3included in a particular program.GFN\ yO!"ԍRevised Industry Proposal at 1.G The revised industry proposal states that the revised guidelines are supported by leading family and child advocacy groups, as well as television  X3broadcasters, cable systems and networks, and television production companies.1N\ {O;%"ԍId.1 j3. Under the revised industry proposal, television programming would continue to fall into one of six categories, with symbols added indicating the particular content of each  XX3program, as appropriate.7Xh N\ {Oq*"ԍId. at 2.7 For programs designed solely for children, the general categories are: A  ,,,v#e@w[!hL\ '#k \ hԌ X3ԙj TVY (All Children This program is designed to be appropriate for all children). Whether animated or liveaction, the themes and elements in this program are specifically designed for a very young audience, including children from ages 26. This program is not expected to frighten younger children.  X3j TVY7 (Directed to Older Children This program is designed for children age 7  Xz3and above). It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between makebelieve and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may wish to consider the suitability of this program for their very young children. Note: For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense  X 3or more combative than other programs in this category, such programs will be designated  X 3TVY7FV .  X 3 jFor programs designed for the entire audience, the general categories are:  X3j TVG (General Audience Most parents would find this program suitable for all  X3ages). Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch this program unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.  X'3j TVPG (Parental Guidance Suggested This program contains material that parents  X3may find unsuitable for younger children). Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program contains one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).  X3j TV14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned This program contains some material that many  X3parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age). Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following: intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).  X3j TVMA (Mature Audience Only This program is specifically designed to be viewed  X3by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17). This program contains one or more of the following: graphic violence (V), explicit sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L).  X"3  X#3j4. The revised industry proposal also states that the icons and associated content symbols will appear for 15 seconds at the beginning of all rated programming, and that the  Xg%3size of the icons will be increased from those shown currently.7g%Hh {O'"ԍId. at 3.7 In addition, the revised industry proposal states that five representatives of the advocacy community will be added to"P&Z,**)"  X3the Oversight Monitoring Board.1Hh {Oy"ԍId.1 The Oversight Monitoring Board was established in the original industry proposal to ensure that the ratings are applied accurately and consistently to  X3television programming. The ratings information will continue to be supplied by cable network and television stations to newspapers and publishers of printed and electronic program guides so that the ratings can be included in program guides, and local television stations will retain the right to substitute the rating they deem appropriate for their audience  Xv3for ratings assigned by producers and distributors.\vZHh {O " jԍId. The guidelines will be applied to all television programming except for news, sports and unedited MPAA jrated movies that are shown on premium cable channels. The latter will continue to carry their original MPAA  {O "ratings and the additional advisories currently used by several premium services. Id. j5. The above is only a general description of certain aspects of the revised industry proposal. For a more detailed description, interested parties are directed to review a complete copy of the revised industry proposal. The revised industry proposal is attached to this Public Notice as an Appendix. Copies may also be obtained from the Commission's Public  X 3Reference Room, Room 239, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., or from the Commission's Internet site (http://www.fcc.gov/vchip), or by calling ITS, the Commission's  X 3transcription service, at (202) 8573800.  X3j6. Under Section 551(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),] ~Hh yO"ԍPub. L. No. 104104, 110 Stat. 56 (February 8, 1996).] the Commission must determine, in consultation with appropriate public interest groups and interested individuals from the private sector, whether: (1)video programming distributors  XK3have established, within one year of the 1996 Act's enactment, voluntary rules for rating video programming that contains sexual, violent or other indecent material about which  X3parents should be informed before it is displayed to children;J Hh yO"ԍ1996 Act,  551(e)(1)(A).J (2)such voluntary rules are  X3acceptable to the Commission;1 Hh {OU"ԍId.1 and (3)video programming distributors have agreed  X3voluntarily to broadcast signals that contain ratings of such programming.E 0 Hh {O "ԍId.,  551(e)(1)(B).E If the Commission determines that the industry proposal fails to satisfy these criteria, the Commission must establish: (1) on the basis of recommendations from an advisory committee, guidelines and recommended procedures for the identification and rating of video programming that contains violent, sexual or other indecent material about which parents should be informed before it is displayed to children; and (2) in consultation with the television industry, rules requiring the distributors of video programming that has been rated  XN3to transmit such rating to permit parents to block the display of video programming that they"N ,**H"  X3have determined is inappropriate for their children.

The 1996 Act also mandated the inclusion in most new television signal  jreceivers of the socalled "Vchip" technology, which will be capable of blocking the display of video programming  j{with a common rating. 1996 Act,  551(c), codified at Section 303(x) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.   j303(x); 1996 Act,  551(d), codified at Section 330(c) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.  330(c); and 1996 Act,  551(e).  X3j7. Interested parties are invited to comment on whether the revised industry proposal meets the standards set forth in Section 551(e) of the 1996 Act. In particular, we seek comment on: (1) whether video programming distributors have established voluntary rules for rating video programming that contains sexual, violent or other indecent material about which  Xv3parents should be informed before it is displayed to children;Jv@Hh yOg "ԍ1996 Act,  551(e)(1)(A).J (2) whether such voluntary  X_3rules are "acceptable";1_Hh {O"ԍId.1 (3) whether video programming distributors have agreed voluntarily  XH3to broadcast signals that contain such ratings;EHb Hh {O["ԍId.,  551(e)(1)(B).E (4) whether the revised industry proposal  X13satisfies Congress' concerns in enacting the statute;E1 Hh {O"ԍId.,  551(a).E and (5) whether the Commission should determine the acceptability of any alternative ratings systems used by video programming distributors. We will incorporate the comments filed regarding the original industry proposal in the record for the revised industry proposal, although we encourage parties to file new or revised comments to the extent they are concerned with elements of the industry proposal that have been modified. j8. To file formal comments in this proceeding, interested parties must file an original  Xy3plus four copies of all comments in CS Docket No. 9755 . If an interested party would like each Commissioner to receive a personal copy of its comments, it must file an original plus  XK3nine copies. Comments are due on October 6, 1997 , and reply comments are due on October  X4320, 1997 . Interested parties should send comments and reply comments to: Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20554. j9.

Washington, D.C. 20554  X3jRe:` ` CS Docket No. 9755 Dear Mr. Caton: jWe are formally notifying the Commission by this letter of certain elements we are adding to the system of parental guidelines that the television industry submitted on January 17, 1997. The additions we describe below are supported by television broadcasters, cable systems and networks, and television production companies. We are also pleased that the revised guidelines are supported by leading family and child advocacy groups. These supplements to the existing system of guidelines will be implemented, apart from provisions dealing specifically with the Vchip, by October 1 of this year. jWe are attaching a description of the amended system and statements of the television industry and family and child advocacy groups concerning the revised voluntary TV Parental Guidelines, as well as the agreement between the television industry and the advocacy  X93community concerning additions to the Guidelines.X01Í ÍX0Í9 X3ОÍ We are also providing a copy of this submission and the attachments on diskette to the Cable Services Bureau. jWe are changing some of the descriptors associated with the six agebased categories of television programming and, in certain categories, adding symbols describing the type of material that is included in a particular program. The program categories we will use after October 1 are:   X"3 The following categories apply to programs designed solely for children:  Xj$3TVY All Children This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether animated or liveaction, the themes and elements in this program are specifically designed for a very young audience, including children from ages 26. This program is not expected to frighten younger children. "(b,,,+"Ԍ X3 TVY7 Directed to Older Children This program is designed for children age 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between makebelieve and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may wish to consider the suitability of this program for their very young children. Note: For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense or  Xx3more combative than other programs in this category, such programs will be designated TV Xa3Y7FV .  X33 The following categories apply to programs designed for the entire audience:  X 3TVG General Audience Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch this program unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.  X3 TVPG Parental Guidance Suggested This program contains material that parents may find  X3unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program contains one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).  X3 TV14 Parents Strongly Cautioned This program contains some material that many parents  X3would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following: intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).  Xq3 TVMA Mature Audience Only This program is specifically designed to be viewed by  X\3adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. This program contains one or more of the following: graphic violence (V), explicit sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L). X0ÍX8ÍjThese refinements maintain the broad sixcategory structure of the system of ratings we previously submitted to the Commission and add symbols indicating the particular content of each program, as appropriate. Together, the category and programspecific content indicators will provide parents with information that will help them make informed decisions about what their children should watch on television. jThe icons and associated content symbols will appear for 15 seconds at the beginning of all rated programming, and the size of the icons will be increased from those shown presently. "3',((  *"ԌjIn addition, five representatives of the advocacy community will be added to the monitoring board which we have established to ensure that the Guidelines are applied accurately and consistently to television programming. This will provide input from representatives of parents and family and child advocacy groups about the way in which the Guidelines operate in practice. jConsistent with the operation of the TV Parental Guidelines since January, cable networks and television stations will supply ratings information to newspapers and publishers of printed and electronic program guides so that the ratings can be included in program guides. Also unchanged is the right of local television stations to substitute the rating they deem appropriate for their audience for ratings assigned by producers and distributors. The TV Parental Guidelines will continue to apply to all television programming except for news and sports and unedited MPAArated movies that are shown on premium cable channels. The latter will continue to carry their original MPAA ratings and the additional advisories currently used by several premium services. jSection 551(e)(1) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104104, requires the Commission to determine if distributors of video programming have . . . established voluntary rules for rating video programming that contains sexual, violent, or other indecent material about which parents should be informed, and that the industryadopted ratings system is acceptable. As we pointed out in submitting the TV Parental  X3Guidelines on January 17 and in comments submitted on May 8, 1997,$ X3ОÍ Joint Reply Comments of the National Association of Broadcasters, The National Cable Television Association, and The Motion Picture Association of America, CS Dkt. No. 9755 (May 8, 1997). the ratings system we adopted achieved Congress goals of providing information that would give parents an effective tool to control their childrens television viewing, a tool whose effectiveness would become even greater when the Vchip becomes available. jBy adding information to the Guidelines, parents will have additional information to help them decide which television programs their children will watch. Parents who wish to prevent their children from seeing a whole category of programs oriented in theme or content to older viewers will be able to do so; parents who instead are interested in controlling their childrens access to particular types of content will also be provided with the information they need. Each network or television station also will continue to have the right to provide additional advisories to parents when they believe their audience will benefit from particular information about a specific program.  X3 jWhen coupled with the Vchip, the TV Parental Guidelines will allow parents flexible options to ensure that their children see only the programs that they deem suitable for them. The content symbols added to the ratings categories meet many of the concerns"! K,((  $"  X3expressed in comments to the Commission, $ Xy3ОÍ See, e.g., Comments of the Center for Media Education, CS Dkt. No. 9755 (April 8, 1977); Comments of the National Association for Family and Community Education, CS Dkt. No. 9755 (April 8, 1977).  and the addition of representatives of advocacy  X3groups to the Oversight Monitoring Board address the concerns of others that decisions about  X3ratings should reflect input from outside the television industry.M$ X3ОÍ See, e.g., Comments of Morality in Media, CS Dkt. No. 9755 (April 8, 1977). jThe TV Parental Guidelines are voluntary and broadly supported by the television industry which has pledged to begin transmitting ratings information on line 21 of the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) within six months. While the Telecommunications Act  X_3contemplated that a ratings system would be incorporated into the Vchip, Congress specifically eschewed any requirement that distributors of programming be required to use that system. The Commission is only authorized to require transmission of blocking codes with respect to video programming that has been rated. 47 U.S.C.  303(w)(2). The Conference Report emphasized that the conferees do not intend that the Commission require  X 3the adoption of the recommended rating system nor that any particular program be rated.  X 3H. Rep. No. 458, 104th Cong., 2d Sess. 195 (1996)(emphasis added).  X 3 jProgram producers and distributors were thus explicitly left by Congress with the discretion to determine whether they will rate their own programming, subject only to the requirement that they cannot strip ratings information from the VBI. Congress undoubtedly adopted this approach to avoid the obvious constitutional questions that would arise if programmers were required to display governmentapproved messages about program content. Thus, whether certain program producers or distributors decide that they will not rate programs at all (as some did after the TV Parental Guidelines were adopted last December), or others do not utilize the additional content symbols, has no impact on the decision as to whether the ratings system adopted by the industry is acceptable under Section 551(e)(1). jIn order to bring the full benefits of the TV Parental Guidelines to the American people, we urge the Commission promptly to conclude that this system is acceptable and to adopt the technical standards needed for its incorporation into television receivers. jPlease direct any questions concerning this matter to Jill Luckett at NCTA, Jack Goodman at NAB, and Cynthia Merrifield at MPAA. ,Respectfully submitted, , , , ," ,((  #"Ԍ,GH 8(#҇Jack Valenti President and CEO Motion Picture Association of America" ,((  " Decker Anstrom President and CEO National Cable Television Association" ,((  " Eddie Fritts President and CEO National Association of BroadcastersR ,((  .

T$T$E   X 3 JOINT STATEMENT OF  MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA 3 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS / NATIONAL CABLE TELEVISION ASSOCIATION  XK3@ 8  !#!WASHINGTON, D.C. The television industry has concluded a long negotiation with public advocacy groups and has come to closure on revisions to the TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES.  !# The following content information, where appropriate, will be added to all nonexempt programming to  !#!supplement the existing Guidelines: in the TVY7 category FV for fantasy violence; in the TVPG, TV14 and TVMA categories V for violence, S for sexual situations, L for language, and D for dialogue.  X|3 !#!Leaders in Congress have said no legislation regarding television ratings, content and program scheduling  !#x!should be enacted for several years, so that parents will have time to understand and deal with Vchips in  !#television sets, a mechanism which gives them the ability to block out programs they may find  !#h inappropriate for young children. Additionally, advocacy group leaders have said this process should  !#g!proceed unimpeded by pending or new legislation that would undermine the intent of our joint agreement or disrupt the harmony and good faith of the process just concluded.  !# We are grateful to Vice President Gore, to Chairman John McCain, to Chairman Tom Bliley, Chairman  !#"Billy Tauzin, Congressman Ed Markey, among others, who were helpful throughout this process. We also  !#Gwish to thank the parents of Peoria, Illinois who, in a May town hall meeting, shared with us their thoughts on the subject of television ratings.  !# As the industry declared on February 29, 1996, in announcing its plans to design parental guidelines for  !#W television, we repeat now: Parents will be the arbiters of these new TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES,  !#!which will be implemented no later than October 1, 1997. Obviously, until there is a sufficient number of television sets equipped with Vchips in American homes, no evaluation can be properly conducted. 7w####XN\  P XP#
